    I think we all just pick 100 games or something, it has nothing to do with points.

    Relax, pal. They aren't stacking the deck against you.

    maybe they will let the blackjack be played over the whole 3 months playing a certain amount of hands instead of doing it all on one day

    Can I suggest that, for the poker segment, you limit each player to 5 tournaments a week (m-f) instead of 1 a day. Doesn't matter if someone plays 3 in a day as long as everyone has the same total limit.

    I'm sure there are many here that have weekdays that just don't work.

    Just a thought. Don't even know if the current platorm supports it.

    Sometimes very difficult to play poker everyday with work commitments so agree with tat maybe a max of 5 a week would work

    Tat, I suggested that when these whole 'series' started.

    SBR said no b/c then some tournaments would be lobsided/fill and on Friday there would be like 18 people a tourney

    Hopefully, they reconsider.

    Well they can just open up avail to register hours in advance (I think they might have already done that not sure since haven't been playing) so people can better plan their lives.

    Blackjack killed me last year, don't think I'm going to pick 60% + with a 100 game sample again. :/

    Should be fun. When does it end?

    I believe they said Blackjack would count for less.

    Would be nice to see

    Hoops 250
    Poker 250
    Blackjack 100

    And I like Bjack.
